Answer: charge distribution within the H₂O molecule gives the polarity in molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polarity of the water molecule is the result of its molecular structure and the charge distribution within the molecule. Water (H2O) consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms and due to electronegativity difference between H and O, water get its polarity.
